Designing for Pet Owners: Because Fido Deserves Style Too!
At Nouveau International Design, we know that your home isn’t just yours — it belongs to your pets, too! Designing a pet-friendly home doesn’t mean sacrificing style. In fact, some of the most beautiful interiors we’ve created are also the most pet-friendly.
Tips for a Stylish, Pet-Friendly Home
- Designated Pet Zones — Create dedicated spaces for feeding, sleeping, and playing that blend seamlessly with your decor. Built-in pet nooks under staircases or custom cabinetry can be both functional and beautiful.
- Pet-Friendly Fabrics — Performance fabrics like Sunbrella or Crypton are game-changers. They resist stains, repel pet hair, and are incredibly durable while looking luxurious.
- Choosing Rugs — Indoor-outdoor rugs and washable rugs are your best friends. They can handle muddy paws, shedding, and the occasional accident without showing wear.
- Pet-Safe Plants — Many popular houseplants are toxic to pets. Opt for safe alternatives like spider plants, Boston ferns, and calatheas that add greenery without the risk.
- Stylish Storage — Keep toys, leashes, and treats organized with attractive storage solutions that complement your interior design.
- Durable Flooring — Luxury vinyl, tile, and scratch-resistant hardwoods are excellent choices that withstand the wear and tear of active pets while maintaining their beauty.
- Making Your Pet Part of the Design — From custom pet portraits to coordinated pet beds and accessories, your furry family member can be a celebrated part of your home’s aesthetic.
Balance is key. With the right materials, layout, and design choices, you can have a home that is both stunning and pet-approved. Let Nouveau help you create a space where everyone in the family — two-legged and four-legged alike — feels right at home.
